Superior Industries released the Scavenger wash circuit.
The system is designed to help producers recover valuable sand particles lost during the washing of fine materials, boosting profitability while reducing waste, according to the company.
This predesigned cyclone, sump and pump package works in combination with a fine material screw washer. The Scavenger captures fine materials in the 50 to 200 mesh range that can overflow the weirs and end up in waste ponds. That sand is captured by the circuit and redirected into profitable product piles.
“Unfortunately, many sand producers experience material loss at the back end of their screw and don’t even know it,” says Brett Casanova, washing product manager at Superior Industries. “The Scavenger wash circuit helps producers recover tons of fine material, returning it to their stockpile for sale while reducing the frequency of pond cleanouts and eliminating the need for expensive standalone recovery systems.”
The Scavenger also eliminates the need for costly and, sometimes, complicated standalone ultrafines recovery systems, Superior says. Moreover, the Scavenger wash circuit is designed to integrate with any brand of fine sand screw, making it a versatile solution for all producers.
